Michelle ChaIf you say "What's the date?" we answer "It's December 29th" and don't say the year.

If the situation requires it, we do say the year, for example, if the date you are asking about is the date of some historic event that happened a long time ago.

Michelle Cha~~How~~ What do you say when you are wondering about both the date and year?

You can add "including the year" ("What's the date, including the year?"). Or you could say it the same ("What's the date?"), and when the answer doesn't include the year, you ask "What year?"

For most official forms that give you a line to fill in, as shown below, the full date, including the year, is always expected and provided.

BIRTH DATE ___________

So if you are asked in speaking, "What is your birth date?", you are always expected to provide the year.
